Too Deep for Him.

A Boston girl came over to New
York. She amused herself very well for
several days, among her other pleasures
including the beautiful displ"l. Of chryS-
anthcn1ums at Cosmopolitan Hall. She
was delighted with it. The splendid
shocks OF snowy ard tlame-co:orcA
blooms and the new japanese seed
lings that look as if nature l:;;? copied
them from decorations on japanese
Jars, and the clean, fresh, curiou5 per-
fumes filled her cultured soul 50 full OF
sentiment that it bubbled over for the
benefit Of New York man. He came
to call soon after her return from the
flower show. He was charming
young person, who never by any acci-
dent polluted his person with any artl-
Gle manufactured in this country. Eo
was turned out complete from top to Toe
in English goods. and his gait Oh the
avenue filled beholders with the widest
awe and delight, it so closely copied the
true thoroughbred stride. The import
ant details OF dress had occupied his
walking hours so closely that he had
found but littlo time to unDend his MINI
over book. and other matters even
moro important had escaped his atten-
tention, among them the flower show,
which he happened not TO have heard OF.
"rve Just come from seeing the ciiryS-
anthemums, said the enthusiastic
Young woman from Boston; "&Gl,, q:
it was such treat. l never cnjoved
anything so much in my life. Have yor
been YETI"
No" he drawled out loud, thinking
to himself, What the deuce is the girl
talking about, anyhow" After rapid
but profound reasoning he came to the
conclusion that being :. Boston woman
and addicted to literature, the thing that
she had been to was something part&k-
ing of an intellectual nature, and proba-
bly, scientific. Judging from the long and
unpronounceablc name. So be re-
marked lightly that really he didn't
60 much into that sort Of thing no"-it
was out of his line, too deep entirely tor
him"
The Boston girl stared "What do
you mean, sir? Cbrysanthemums too
deep?'
"WeIl, you know" said the hapless
youth, putting his foot deeper in his
mouth every time he opened it, that
one has to DO such an awful ! OF OF
reading to keep up with these scientific
things, and for my part / ncTcr enjoy
them unless All quite UP on the sub
| ject they're talking about He felt nc
was getting skillfuly over q difficult
question and continued. with graceful
self confidence. to add few delicate
and artistic touches TO his position.

and then said she supposed that h'
really must work awfuliy hard, and !
really was no end OF i pity he had hat
TO give up his studies. But before she
went back to Boston she told the story

II KNOW I Aa7 RIGHT"
General Master Workman PowderIy's lecture
on Temperance.

General Master Workman Fowderly, N
the Philadelphia Journal of United Labor
publishes q temperance lecture addressed
to the members of the nights Of LaborS.
1t is entitled The Justice of Ny Position,
and is reply to unfavorablc criticism made
by certain of his correspondents on lectures
delivered by him recently in Boston and
Lynn, Mass. Mr.. Powderly says:
Il know l am right know that in re-
fusing to even touch 9 drop of strong drink
was and am right In refusing to treat
another to that which | do not believe to be
good for myself to drink know that am
right. IL not allowing a rumSellcr to gain
admittance into the order Of the Knights
of Labor know that am right In ad-
vising our assemblies not to rent halls or
meeting rooms over drinking places know
that am right. have done this from the
day my voice was first heard in the council
halls of our order. My position on the
question Of temperance is right. am de
termined to maintain it, and will not alter
it one jot or title l know that in the or
ganization Of which am the head there
are many good men who drink. but they
would be better men if they did not drink.
Ten years ago WAS Kissed because ad-
vised men to let strong drink alone. They
threatened to rotten egg me. | have con-
tinued to advise men to be temperate, and,
though have had no experience that would
qualify me TO render IN opinion OF the
efficacy Of Il rotten egg as an ally of the
rum drinker, yet | would prefer TO haYe
my exterior decorated from summit to base
with the rankest kind Of rotten eggs rather
than to allow one drop of liquid villainy to
pass my lips.
Ten years ago the cause of temperance
was not so respectable as it is to-day, be-
cause there were not so many respectable
men AID women advocating it. 1t has
gained ground. Il is gaining ground. and
all because men and women who believe il
it could not be brow beaten or frightened.
Take list Of the labor societies of America
and the total sum paid into the treasures
from all sources from their organization to
the present tine will not exceed $1,000, 900.
The Knights O. Labor is the largest and
most influential of them all, and though so
much has been said concerning the vast
amount of money that has been collected
from the members, yet the total sum levied
and collected for all purposes up TO the
present time will not exceed $500, COO.
Now let US turn to the other side. II New
York alone it is estimated that not less than
$25, 900 day are spent for drink, 81, ,000,-
600 in a year. If cared more for the
praise and appreciation of labors enemies
than do for the interestsof labor | would
remain silent, We are seeking to reform
existing evils We must first reform our
selves.

In a Batt!e-Panorama Studio.

The central platform is, of course, the
standpoint from which visitors will view
the panorama, and therefore the artists
are obliged to 60 10 it frequently, as the
painting nears completion, IN order to
observe the effect and progress of their
work.
This, too, is the place Of conference.
and despite the signs Of No Admit
tance," within and without, visitors are
frequent, and usually welcome, These
visitors are often veteran soldiers who
, took part in the action represented, and
who often make helpful suggestions.
The army stories that are told on the
central platform, would, If collected,
make prodigious volume. The floor
of the platform is chalked and rechalk-
ed, some referring to the panorama it
self, but more to illustrate occurrences
upon other fields The strong pine rail
surrounding the platform is psncilled al
over with kindred decorations, while
scraps of paper, upon which are memo
randa of incidents, and variety of data,
as well as names and addresses, are
pinned to the convenient timber with
thumb-tacks.
The artist paints steadily, every indi-
vidual being mainly occupied in perfect
ing his own work, though never hesitat-
ing to ask OF extend aid in some special
direction. One artist, for instance. has
an excellent figure of mounted officer.
all complete excepting the portrait,
photograph for which is pinned to the
canvas. While this artist goes to
strengthen line of battle, another
one will rapidly paint an admirable
portrait for the incomplete figure. Soon,
another brush is busy with the horse,
while another artist calls for some spec
ial saddle and bride TO be brought 10
the platform that he may paint the trap
pings.
Now. look at the back of the photo
graph which is pinned to the canvas
faded carte de vtstts OF young officer.
upon slip of paper we read the follow
ing: Col. K, now on General Sheri-
dams staff, H M (mcaning section H,
square 47 of the panorama); French
cap, blouse, captains straps-stati-
dark-blue trousers, gold cord, cavalry
boots, staff sword, Mcclellan saddle;
shabrack-black horse; see sketch. F."
This instance will give an idea of the
way in which facts are preserved when
a panorama is painted by artists who
conscientiously strive to make OF the
work great historical painting.-1heo-

4 VERY REMARKABLE FEATURE OF the
annual report of the Pension Bureau Is
not that the volume of business was
greater than ever before, but that there
is an unexpended balance OF the appro-
priations for salaries and current ex-
penses; which has been turned back into
the national treasury. Heretofore the
business of the Pension Bureau has been
so deftly arranged that not dollar Of
the appropriation ever found its way
back to the place whence it was drawn.
1t is sufficient evidence of the generosity
of the Government toward the soldiers
of the Union that in the year just ended,
nearly quarter of century after the
close of the wal, there were altogether
176,S79 claims for pensions considered
and 55, 1914 original pensions were grant
ed under the liberal laws now in force.
It requires force of nearly fifteen hun
dred people to transact this business, an
average Of nearly thirteen thousand let
tiers and documents being received and
sent out every working day, and the
amount paid for pensions How reaching
the enormous annual total of seventy
four millions of dollars. This sum ex-
ceeds either the annual civil expendi-
lures or the ordinary military and naval
expenditures at the present time, as well
as the total expenditures Of the United
States in any year previous to the civil
war.

an unbroken silence for hours at time.
Mrs. Sharp still remains by his side.
In accordance with the promise made
early in his administration to visit Atlanta,
President Cleveland some months ago ac-

about the 18th October.
The New York Daily Neacs says that
Archbishop Corrigan has forwarded to DR..
McGlynn formal notice of lis excommu-
nication from the Catholic Church. No

its bearing on Catholics generally. will be
read in the churches Of the diocese next
Sunday.
The Commissioner of Agriculture has
rivcn formal notice to the owners OF the

Land at Summervillc, S. c., recently occu-
pied IS an experimental tea farm. The
permanent improvements made by the
Govclnmcnt revert to the owners Of the
property.
The coke operators OF IlttSOurS nave
decided to post another notice throughout
the region, notifying the strikers that they
will be given until next Saturday to return
TO work at the old wages. Those who do
not resume work by that time will be
cvicted from the companys houses, and
new men will be imported from New \ ork
to take their places.
The presence Of Pinkerton's armed men
in the coke regions of Pennsylvania has
caused intense excitement and bloodshed
is expected as q result. The strikers to the
number Of 800 held q meeting at West
Leisenring and unanimously resolved tc
continue the strike. The detectives say
they went there to protect those who de
sired to return to work. Some few re-
sumed work, but everything remains quiet.

The Cotton Movement.

From the New York Financial Chron-
icle's cotton article the following figures
are gathered relative to the movement Of
the staple during the pest week:
The total receipts reached 3,59S bales,
against 1854 bales last week, 3,549 bales
the previous week, and 4, 4,032 bales three
weeks since; making the total receipts
since the 1st September, 1886, 5,l90,4l2
bales, against {, 5,260, 7O3 bales forthe same
period Of 1856, showing a decrease since
September l, 1856, Of ,261 bales.
The exports for the week reach total
of 1868 bales, Of which 0,7S7 were to
Great Britain, 209 to France, and 2,6Sl
to the rest Of the continent.
The total visible supply of cotton, as
made up by cable and telegraph, for the
week is as follows:
Total of Great Britain stock S3l, 600
bales, total Of continental stocks 3o4,
SOOEmaking a total of European stocks
of I,215,So0 bales. The total visible
supply for the world is l,S0S,3 323 bales;
of this number 1,13S, 525 are American
and $50, 800 East Indian, etc.
The imports into continental ports
during the week were $4,000 bales.
These figures indicate decrease in the
cotton in sight of 1928 bales as COM
pared with the same date Of 1856, and
q decrease Of 1850 bales as compared
with the corresponding date OF 1855.
The receipts at interior towns for the
week have been 2,035 bales. Old inte.
rior stocks decreased 2,491 bales, and
were 47,S39 bales less than at the same
period last year.
The receipts from the plantations,
being the actual movement, not includ-
ing the overland receipts nor Southern
consumption, OF cotton that reached the
market through the outports for the
week were 3,59S bales. The total re-
ceipts since the 1st Of September are
5,1S4, ,2S4 bales. The actual movement
from the plantations was only 1858
bales, the balance being taken from the
stocks at the interior towns.
Cotton in sight June a was 6,3l2, O76
being decrease Of cotton IN sight as
compared with last year Of lie, S22.
The Chronicle saws, in reviewing the
speculation in futures during the week:
ssThe speculation in cotton for future
delivery at this market has been feverish
and unsettled il tone, with the course Of
prices somewhat erratic and irregular.
The reduced stocks have caused some
anxiety about contracts for this crop,
and August options advanced 40 points
from the recent fgures-namely, from
1866. to 11.06c., but there was no con-
sidererabie short interest to squeeze,
and prices gave way the moment buying
ceased to be active. The very favorable
reports from the growing crop prevented
any material improvement IN the more
distant options, although it IS generally
admitted that the supplies will run
probably quite low in the early fall
months, especially in Europe.
